As ye�u '<now; 1:�nd belnl�the <br /> 931.5 elevation and landward of the ordinary high water(OHW)elevation of 929.4 falls <br /> Email: within the 100 year floodplain of Lake Minnetonka. The floodplain is defined as the <br /> admin@minnehahacreek.org areas adjoining a watercourse or water basin which may have been or hereafter may be <br /> covered by a 100 year regional flood. The characteristics of your lot and adjoining lots <br /> Web Site: may present special circumstances for the low area in your yard. <br /> www.minnehahacreek.org <br /> I observed an area of high ground that ran parallel with the lakeshore and extended across <br /> your lot as well as the adjoining lots on both sides of your lot. This berm area is <br /> approximately 20 to 25 feet in width and separates the low area behind your house from <br /> the lake. The presence of mature trees on top of the berm indicates it has existed for <br /> many years. There does not appear to be any direct connection between your low area <br /> Board of Managers and the lake either on your lot or through adjacent lots. You showed me a site survey <br /> Pamela G.Blixt plan of your lot that was developed prior to construction of the existing house and shows <br /> James Calkins a spot elevation on the berm of 932.0. You further indicated that no alteration of the <br /> berm took place during the construction of the existing house. <br /> Lance Fisher <br /> Monica Gross Based on the information you provided and on my observations of site characteristics, it <br /> is my opinion that the low area in your yard is not adjoining the lake and therefore not <br /> Thomas W.LaBounty directly connected to the 100 year floodplain of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> Thomas Maple,Jr. <br /> Please call me at 471-6282 if you have any questions. <br /> Malcolm Reid <br /> Sincerely, <br /> -_...� . <br /> 4,. y�.�� <br /> Hafner <br /> District Technician <br /> c: Lyle Oman, City of Orono <br /> �Printed on recycled paper containing <br /> at least 30%post consumer waste. <br />
